 The general session then adjourned. ! The unfavorable comment and criticism that have appeared in some newsbapers about the proceedings of the International Medical congress have excited the indigna- l ton of many of the delegates. Prominent members of the executive committee speak l ing of the matter say the criticisms were an- swered by Sir James Grant, of Canada, who in proposing a vote of thanks to Dr. Unna to day made a speech in which he character l ized this as one of the most important con- crosses ever held and said it would take rank among the highest scientific gatherings ever held. Dr. J. B. Hamilton, secretary general of I the congress, says the attempt to disgrace our country by belittling our foreign guests | and decrying the scientific aspects of the \ congress is only viewed with utter contempt by the delegates. The next international 1 medical congress will be held at Berlin in l 1890. l A buffet lunch was given at the pension | office this evening to the members Of the | international congress and their friends. The hall was brilliantly lighted and the full | marine band furnished music. The attempt
 to serve five thousand guests at lunch table around which not more than five hundred l could be comfortably placed made crush ln | that quarter inevitable, though good nature
 and courtesy despite the crowding of the | first half hour were conspicuous. It was l noticed that the foreigners needed no eneour- agement to help themselves, though their
 zeal as caterers was highly displayed in be-
 | half of their lady comdanions, who formed picturesque little picnic groups in all parts
 | of the quarter reserved for the lunch. The
 menu was gorgeous affair and the table
 ] supplies were abundant and of an appetlzlne quality.
